Endocrine disruptors are powerful chemicals that can change our body’s hormonal messages. Chronic exposure to these toxins, especially in pregnant women, turns on the genes for hormone imbalances that will be seen at puberty when the hormones activate. These compounds continue to be added to not only to the environment but also to our own and our children’s bodies. These harmful chemicals can bind to both estrogen and androgen receptors in our body, and it can affect the production of hormones as well as the development of the follicles within the ovary.
